Corvette Delivery Dispatch with National Corvette Seller Mike Furman for March 1st
Each week, Criswell Chevrolet’s Mike Furman delivers new Corvette Stingrays, Grand Sports, Z06s and ZR1s to his customers who come from all parts of the country to work with the nation’s top individual Corvette seller.
If you haven’t noticed, our friend Mike Furman has taken a break over the last few weeks with his weekly delivery posts, but he’s back in the saddle as he shares his final C7-centric delivery post. If you catch his weekly posts on the Corvette Forum, next week look under the C8 section as he is expecting to deliver his first 2020 mid-engine Corvette. Of course, we’ll have all those great deliveries here as well and we cannot wait to see how his customers have ordered their new C8 Corvettes. As the kids say, it’s gonna be lit!
Visit Mike’s facebook page for even more photos and videos of his new Corvette deliveries: CorvetteFurman.

GM Still Committed to Right Hand Drive C8 Corvette Model Following Holden Announcement
Just because the sales, design and engineering operations for Holden in Australia and New Zealand are coming to a halt in 2021, doesn’t mean the right-hand-drive mid-engine Corvette won’t still be sold there as originally planned.
